perpendicular gyroscopes |
| Question: |
If the axes of two gyroscopes were set perpendicular to one another, would the precession of one gyroscope offset the other? I understand that this configuration of gyros is used to stabalize cameras, so I assume that they would. If they would in fact offset the precession of one another, how much torque could one of these well-made devices resist before twisting a great deal or damaging the gyroscopes?
THANK YOU. Please respond if you have any experience with gyroscopes... Spencer |

| | | Since the output of the gyro is used to drive a motor in this application, all you need to do is null (ignore) the redundant output.
